The early design guideline such as， API RP2A (1993) had recommended the working stress design (WSD) based on a single maximum wave of given height and period， generally representing the 100-yr storm. API developed new recommendations (2000) for consequence-based design criteria for new platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Two classes of risks were separately considered—those associated with life safety and consequences of failure.
